BT, TNT, Aebi, EDF, the EA and BAT top speaker line up for Insight 2014 Enterprise Mobility Conference

5th Annual Enterprise Mobility Conference boasts top speaker line up

Insight 2014, the fifth annual mobile enterprise conference and charity event organised by Peak-Ryzex will take place 24 and 25 September. To reflect how mobile technology is transforming the way organisations operate and do business, this year’s conference theme is “Enterprise Mobility: The Unstoppable Wave”. The event aims to help delegates keep up with technological developments and how they can be harnessed to gain a competitive edge.

The Insight events typically attract visitors from a range of industries including retail, manufacturing, transport and logistics, utilities and field services/engineering/maintenance. Delegates include IT directors, business analysts, project managers and consultants looking at learning how to address the growing challenge of managing a mixed mobile device estate, share experiences with peers and meet with mobile technology suppliers under one roof.

The exciting conference programme opens with a keynote presentation by Kim Gasson of BT Global Services who will discuss “The Internet of Everything (IoT)” and how to prepare and optimise the new flood of data that these connected devices will generate. The programme includes a case study presentation from TNT Express about how the organisation manages more than 10,000 mobile devices and how they are used to drive customer service improvements.

Simon Stehle from Aebi Schmidt Holding AG will discuss how the company has mobilised its SAP plant maintenance (PM) and customer service (CS) system for its field based service technicians to create their own service orders. Vincent Rice from British American Tobacco will share how implementing a SAP Track and Trace solution with the assistance of Movilitas Consulting to mobilise SAP and integrate auto ID has enhanced the security of the company’s supply chain.

To round off the programme, Marilyn Prestney-Archer and Selen Djemal from EDF Energy will host a question and answer session on “Global Mobility Deployment”. Jon Bilbrough from the Environment Agency will then discuss “Fieldforce Work Scheduling and Mobile Working.”
